Well, I have been quite busy this week. Many assignments, and some intensive Luganda studying. I believe I have finally completely broken down the awkward wall (and wall of trying to get them to like me) between me and my family. Today I taught Maama Wange (my mother) Yoga sun salutations. She stopped at the point where you are on the ground and started to do pushups. One of these days I will post a picture of her, and you will see, shes a big lady! The pushups were quite impressive haha. My family was laughing at my jokes and as they were laughing, my sister said, " baby Maya, are you going to make us crack our ribs every day?" and I said that that was my job untill they actually give me a job to do besides eat food and sleep. (which is all they really let me do) They tend to forget that I am 20 years old, and in fact quite good at cooking and chopping veggies. (hence the reason for calling me baby maya despite my superior age to my siblings... so much for the culture of respect your elders)
Random side note: I'm now fully obsessed with passion fruit... Who knew it was a real fruit??!?! I always though it was just a mixture of fruits, but nope, turns out it is the tastiest thing in the entire world!!!
Anyway, thats my que to sign off. Hopefully I will feel more motivated to write about more educated and relevant stuff next post.
hasta luego!!! oops ( not the first time I have used spanish instead of Luganda)
sun salutations! whered ya learn those?? ;)
